President Yoweri Museveni Don’t Let Stella Nyanzi Die In Jail

President
Yoweri Museveni, let the world call you by any name but what is historically
clear is that from your student days at the University of Dar es Salaam in
Tanzania, the African world saw in you
the spirit of a political messiah, your critics needs to see your historic work
as a freedom fighter and in the area of Pan-Africanism. You remain that man who
was all about black liberation and the empowerment of oppressed African nations.

Nationally,
combatively and presidentially you worked against all elements of instability
in Uganda, a country that was plagued by war and tyranny for much of its 37
years since gaining liberation from Britain.

For
many who may have forgotten the introduction of universal primary education came
through you, which guaranteed elementary schooling for children and your war against
AIDS as well as politically empowering women remain part of your legacy.

African
political historians and psychologists see a man who always stood as a regional
power broker for your African neighbors.

The
situations in Africa today are complex.
But we keep transforming as a people and societies.

Mr.
President, your wife, Janet Kataaha Museveni, an educationist and a
humanitarian in a not too long-time taped video told the world she has forgiven
Dr. Stella Nyanzi for her sensual and erotic approach to poetry which was much
more negatively rained on the First Lady.,

Sir, as a man of traditions and of a biblical mind I say let it go, I mean the feelings of disrespect from the ill-mannered words by Nyanzy on your person.

Dr.
Nyanzi who tragically lost her father and painfully lost her mother could be
partly engaged in a cry for help but poetically and metaphorically expressing
her inner pain as well as the pains of females in her own way.

Mr.
President, reflectively she is just doing liberation related work which you
planted except she is doing it in a different method.

In
solidarity with your wife I say let her go!

Mr.
President, I was born in Uromi, in Edo State of Nigeria and I have lived in the
United States of America for decades where I schooled and currently a Forensic/Clinical
Psychologist.

Also,
as an academic I am familiar with your historical work in the areas of anti-colonialism
and anti-black oppression, and many of us who are robust in African centered philosophy
and Black psychology, admire your history of liberational work.

As
an African freedom fighter who is now 74-year-old, I say take her as that
daughter who is known for unusual, shocking, and impolite narratives about
life.

Mr.
President you are historically known for your work in the areas of girls’
rights and the freedom of expression. At this time take a missionary approach
to this matter and let her go, let her return to her job, let her regain her
health and join her family again.

Yes,
she will not be silenced given her spirit of activism but from a psychological
perspective she will not approach her scholastic, humanitarian and political
campaign as before!
